665: Chapter 663 Contacting Tang Zheng, Preparing to Rank Up

Just as the intense white light flashed across for a split second, the dream space shook and shattered, and Chu Xuan instantly realized that he was about to be forcibly awakened.

At that very instant, Chu Xuan used the speed of a lifetime, abruptly raising his hand to ignite the Fire of Nirvana, and clawed outward toward his head.

"Nirvana Stripping!"

Accompanied by the screams of the Phantom Demon, Chu Xuan directly and fiercely pinched it out.

He did not even have time to check whether he had gained any spirituality value from killing the Phantom Demon in this dream, as the dream scene had already completely shattered to pieces.

...

Waking from the dream.

Consciousness returned.

Chu Xuan suddenly discovered that he was not in the depths of the dense forest where he had fallen asleep, but standing by a small stream.

The Fire of Nirvana was rising from his entire body, and he was looking at his own reflection in the stream water.

The smile on his face was bizarre and unfathomable.

Chu Xuan's gaze darkened, and after his consciousness returned, he directly put away the Fire of Nirvana.

"Do you like looking in the mirror that much?" Chu Xuan sneered.

When he had just passed by this small stream, he had deliberately kept a distance, but he did not expect that when he woke from the dream, he had actually returned to this place once again.

The time was 11:01.

It was still delayed by 31 minutes compared to the time he should have woken from the dream.

Chu Xuan immediately pulled open the clothes on his chest, only to see that it was covered in black markings, which had almost completely occupied his entire chest and abdomen.

These black markings had increased quite a bit compared to the last time he woke from the dream.

"This time, after upgrading and adding stat points, especially when my true spirit attribute broke through 100 points and gained the [Solidify spirit] trait, my mental resistance was vastly improved, yet it did not weaken the growth momentum of these black markings..."

Chu Xuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Every time he woke from a dream, his body would be occupied for a period of time. Did he really need to stop entering dreams to alleviate this symptom?

The moment the thought arose, Chu Xuan immediately suppressed it.

Afterwards, Chu Xuan checked his spirituality value: 45810.

"My spirituality value is 8,000 points more than before waking from the dream. It seems it is not as I thought, that killing in dreams of another world cannot yield additional spirituality value. Then... is it because of the particularity of the Phantom Demon, or are Strange Creatures the exception?"

Thinking up to this point, Chu Xuan prepared to try and verify it later.

"Hmm? That's not right! 8,000 points of spirituality value..." A sneer involuntarily appeared at the corner of Chu Xuan's mouth.

Previously, every time he killed a Phantom Demon in the dream, he could only harvest 5,000 points of spirituality value.

But not long ago, Chu Xuan had given the Phantom Demon some spirituality value and rule fragments, raising Myriad Forms to level 8.

At that moment, when he killed the Phantom Demon again, the harvested spirituality value had increased considerably, which obviously meant that the Phantom Demon had also been strengthened.

Chu Xuan did not drag the Phantom Demon out to denounce it because of this, but instead feigned ignorance.

Boom!

Right at this moment, a bolt of heavenly lightning struck down.

Lightning radiance flickered across Chu Xuan's entire body, completely unaffected, just like in the dream.

Following closely was a second bolt of heavenly lightning tinged with a faint blood-red light, which did not fall from the dark clouds, but appeared out of thin air.

Chu Xuan braced himself.

However, although this bolt of blood-red heavenly lightning, which could directly shatter the dream space, had formidable might, it only caused him to lose less than 1,000 health points.

Besides that, Chu Xuan's expression was slightly dazed for a moment, but immediately returned to normal afterwards.

"Can this bolt of blood-red heavenly lightning affect spiritual consciousness..."

Chu Xuan instantly detected the peculiarities within it.

If he had suffered this Lightning Tribulation yesterday, even if he didn't die, he would have shed a layer of skin.

But now it was different.

His true stamina attribute was 120 points, and his defense was massively increased.

[Thunderous Might] was at Perfection, and having withstood the golden lightning after killing Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun, his lightning resistance had also skyrocketed.

Coupled with 100 points of true spirit attribute and the [Solidify spirit] trait, he was almost immune to the mental destruction of the blood-red heavenly lightning.

"Is improving strength at this speed still far from enough..."

Chu Xuan gently exhaled a breath, recalling the words of Future Tang Zheng before waking from the dream.

"The land where the deities fell... The burial place of the Life Mother Nest..."

Chu Xuan whispered softly.

This was precisely the description in the System introduction after entering the Cangyun World.

"There isn't much effective information. It seems we can only wait until tomorrow to enter the dream and talk."

Chu Xuan took a deep breath, his figure distorted for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed back into the appearance of Zhou Fan.

At the same time, Chu Xuan took out the communication radar, pressed the edge switch, and sent a message to Tang Zheng:

"What the hell are you playing at? Has the Traverse cooldown time not arrived yet?"

Waiting for about half a minute, there was no news whatsoever.

Chu Xuan checked the distance between them; it was still over 100,000 kilometers, not much different from before.

"Tomorrow morning at dawn, around 7 o'clock, I'll wait for you at Dongzhou City. Brother Xuan will carry you to climb the ranks!"

"Don't overthink too much, I've already planned out everything!"

Having said this, Chu Xuan pondered slightly and added another sentence:

"There are a few old scoundrels who want to ambush me, and I might kick the bucket. If you can come over, I'll have a much greater certainty."

After speaking, Chu Xuan no longer waited for the other party's reply, and directly put away the communication radar.

Afterwards, Chu Xuan waited in place for a while, but no one arrived.

"Did those two bolts of heavenly lightning crashing down not cause them to detect any anomalies?"

Chu Xuan gently frowned.

He had just regained control permissions over the Clone, and the first command he issued was for everyone to stand by in place and not approach the vicinity of this small stream.

As for his main body, it waited here without moving to see if he could wait for Minge, or the former leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, Ming Zhen.

However, the result greatly disappointed him; not a single person came.

However, just as Chu Xuan was preparing to head back, a light chuckle sounded.

"I knew that the existence capable of attracting those two bolts of heavenly lightning must be extraordinary. I didn't expect it to be you; then it's no wonder..."

A woman in a gauze skirt walked out from the dense forest, her face beaming with a charming smile: "Nirvana, you used a Clone to deceive people's eyes and ears, yet your main body secretly came here just to undergo tribulation? Could it be that the Lightning Tribulation that fell after killing Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun wasn't enough to satisfy you?"

This woman was none other than Minge. She pronounced the two words "Undergoing Tribulation" with heavy emphasis, carrying both a teasing intent and a hint of probing.

The expression on Chu Xuan's face instantly turned cold: "I master lightning arts, so naturally I don't fear these. To me, heavenly lightning is not a calamity punishment, but a substance for Body Tempering. Otherwise, why do you think I dared to kill Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun?"

"Eh? Why have your words suddenly increased?" Minge's beautiful eyes flashed.

"I just want to tell you that Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun, whom you are incomparably wary of, is merely a prey in my hands that can be played with at any time." When Chu Xuan spoke, his tone was full of cold arrogance and unbridled audacity:

"There's no need to say much nonsense. I am currently leading the Heavenly Dao Alliance masses and calling upon various local branch halls to directly slaughter towards the Great Cang Dynasty, first severing the foundation of the four sects, and then wiping out their entire sects."

"Will your Shendao Sect participate in this to help me set up an inescapable net and wipe out all those Shengyuan Realm Martial Artists of the four sects?"

Hearing these words, Minge's brightly colored red lips curved up: "Since you have already seized the position of leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, you have naturally demonstrated sufficient value. We will definitely spare no cost and go all out."

Hearing this, Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile as well.
